DAYBREAK IN GAZAStories of Palestinian Lives and CultureEdited by Mahmoud Muna, Matthew Teller, with Juliette Touma and Jayyab Abusafia336 pp, Saqi Books £14.99A successful genocide requires dehumanization of the victims to overcome any qualms of conscience on the part of the perpetrators and to numb the watching world. As Israel seeks to finish its long war against the Palestinians of Gaza, it has spewed tropes of dehumanization at a fever pitch.

TOLERANCE IS A WASTELANDPalestine and the Culture of Denialby Saree Makdisi244 pps. University of California Press, 2022. Miscreants, as we know, tend to resist accusations that they’ve done wrong: they invent alibis, deny key facts, plead confusion, or make other excuses for their conduct. But Israel’s distinctive form of “affirmative denial” runs deeper, and sweeps more broadly, Saree Makdisi shows in Tolerance Is a Wasteland: Palestine and the Culture of Denial.

Some people might suppose that 2024 was a bad year for Ahmed Hmeedat to launch the Palestinian Artists Consortium. The new venture is a “virtual venue” to see art and meet artists in Palestine and, if one chooses, to buy their works. But who can think about art, much less buy it, as the Israeli state’s apocalyptic genocide accelerates the physical erasure of Palestine and Palestinians?

Just days after the Biden administration showered the Israeli military with billions of dollars more in lethal aid, still with no apparent effort to restrict its use on non-military populations and structures, Palestinian solidarity activists were gifted with powerful ammunition to challenge Israel’s genocidal disregard for the International and U.S. laws and norms that protect civilians in war situations.
